Well, it's value for money that's for sure.

You're right, I haven't.  And as far as using only the most basic features
of FB and IB goes, you're right there too (although "fundamental" would be a
better term than "basic" IMO - the most important elements of an SQL
database, the SQL itself, the views, generators, stored procedures,
triggers, constraints and so forth).

Who else here is using the advanced IB features Richard is referring to?
Any comments on them?

Cheers,
Carl
